Arena2 -INFESTED-

UPDATE, Apr-20, 09: Now waypointed and bugfixed by VirtualTT, and now includes edge-file for the tex. Please redownload.

Now how do you think Arena2 would look if a horde of nasty demons from hell (including the devil's grandma) did some "terraforming" on Arena2?

You don't know?

Well, I'll show you.

At first they took the whole area and dragged it about... let's say 10.000ft downwards. After that they smashed a tunnel in the right rock, cause they simply love smashing tunnels in rocks. The next step was building funny camonet-constructions and then playing around with some fire (which again ruined one of these. Finally devil's grandmother stepped over her kettle and spilled the soup (yummy radioactive acid stuff) all over the place, which lead to a funny glow everywhere. Voila, this happens when hell infests Arena2.

Unfortunately they forgot to paint some waypoints for stupid bots from the surface. If someone would like to take over this task, I'm sure Satan himself will invite you for dinner (but make sure it's not his grandma cookin').

Have fun!

This is a nice remake of Arena2, though I can't say I fancy the texture very much.  Too plain for an otherwise detailed atmosphere.

Eagles_Arrows, the evil heretic, complained about the texture. Devils grandma decided he was right though. So here we go with a tex update.

I don't really like it. It's sort of ruined the first and original make of Arena2...it's just too different from the first and doesn't really match enough texture and theme compelled to the other. It looks more of like a maze then arena2's style of play.

a remake tends to recreate the gameplay and maybe improve it. I used the original A2 as overlay when I created A2I, so size and layout and therefore the gameplay is about the same (except for that additional tunnel maybe).

and if you also had to duplicate the graphical style of the original, it'd be a copy and not worth making.

No problems with [constructive] criticism, but some substance would be appreciated ;)
